Tate Modern Restaurant

Although it has the look and feel of a chaotic company canteen, the food is surprising five star!

The service was very polite, down to earth and friendly, if little erratic (our newly employed waitress seemed to get rather lost amongst the tables). However, the food and splendid views of London makes up for any shortcomings in terms of ambience and service.

This restaurant is clearly affected by the time of day and day of the week that you visit. Go for lunch or dinner at a weekend and the place will be full of families and tourists, go on a weekday and it will be a lot quieter.

A great place to take someone you wish to surprise with the quality of food on offer. Reasonably priced too for London.

Always scores highly for its views (which are terrific), an underappreciated wine list which is fabulous and offers tremendous value, and food that’s well presented and cooked to a high standard. The menu is not the most innovative but there is something in it for everybody. The service is bright and friendly, unlike the staff in the gallery. The atmosphere is buzzy and informal. Good for taking art lovers and arty lovers; wasted on those just happy to rest their feet and enjoy a cup of tea.
